How we can help

Step 1) Planning your treatment

We use digital planning technology to acquire the information we need about the health of your mouth and your dental anatomy.

Step 2) Preparing your mouth

We will remove any failing teeth that cannot be saved with treatment such as a root canal. Before your dentures are placed, we will make sure your mouth is in a healthy condition. Our dental technician can then begin creating your dentures. Meanwhile, we will give you a temporary set of dentures to wear.

Step 3) Fitting your permanent dentures

Once they are ready, you can come in to have your permanent dentures fitted.

The shape of each tooth that makes up your dentures will be carefully considered so that they are a uniform fit for your mouth. Your custom dentures will also be matched to your existing tooth shade.

FAQs

How long do dentures last?

Dentures can have a lifetime of around between 7 – 15 years. The number of years they last will depend on how well your care for them.

What are the signs that it’s time for new dentures?

It might be time to replace your old dentures if you:

• Feel they have become loose.
• Are having trouble speaking clearly.
• Feel your dentures irritating your gum tissue.
• Feel your dentures are damaged or have become discoloured.

Can dentures be secured with implants?

Yes. In fact, we recommend having a set of custom-made dentures secured in place with implants, as this will give you an enhanced ability to chew your food and speak with clarity. When dentures are secured with implants, the risk of them slipping out of place is no longer a worry for you.
